Short Statement: The overall burden has increased by 821 hours from 228,279 hours to 229,100 hours. This includes a decrease of 7,688 hours of NRC licensee overall burden (from 35,291 hours to 27,603 hours) and an increase of 8,509 hours of Agreement State licensee overall burden (from 192,988 hours to 201,497 hours). Based on the NRC’s estimates, the total number of licensees has decreased by approximately 1,100 from 19,300 to 18,200. There was a decrease in the number of NRC licensees, which decreased from 2,800 to approximately 2,200. The decrease in NRC license numbers may be attributed to natural fluctuations in the needs of businesses and other entities in NRC jurisdiction. The ratio used to estimate Agreement State respondents changed from 5.9 to 7.3 and the estimated number of Agreement State licensees decreased from 16,500 to 16,000. The ratio changed because the difference in the number of NRC licensees versus Agreement States licensees has increased. The overall decrease in the number of licensees is tied to a corresponding decrease in the number of expected responses for various sections, resulting in an overall decrease in the burden hour estimate. The reporting burden increased from 106,782 hours to 113,042 hours. The burden attributed to third-party disclosures decreased by 728 hours (from 13,078 hours to 12,350 hours). The burden for recordkeeping decreased from 108,419 hours to 103,708, a decrease of 4,711 hours. Overall, the NRC total annual burden decreased (from 35,291 to 27,603) due to the decrease in NRC licensees. The total annual burden for Agreement State licensees increased (from 192,988 to 201,497) due to the increase in the ratio used to estimate Agreement State respondents (from 5.9 to 7.3). There was a change in the overall cost because the hourly rate decreased from $275 to $288.
